Media Days Video: Banks, Jackson and Russell Speak

HOOVER, Ala. | Prior to them meeting the entire media horde, us local reporters spent some time this morning with coach Dan Mullen and the players he brought: cornerback Johnthan Banks, offensive lineman Gabe Jackson and quarterback Tyler Russell.

I’ve got videos of the three players. Mullen’s time with us was brief, but he did say that tight end Malcolm Johnson will be out of action for an “extended” period of time. Johnson suffered an injury a little over a week ago, but we still don’t know the exact nature of it. Mullen then said during the main media session, “Probably be an extended injury, but we do expect him back on the field.”
